With no funding for hotel accommodation, light and entry fees, the LPA are holding a fundraising table quiz in Gunnings’s, Drumshanbo on Friday night February 1, at 9pm to show appreciation and support to the lads on their achievements, going to ranking tournaments through the country and all the practice given to the game. Indeed to have half the Irish Junior team from Leitrim is a significant achievement and should not go unnoticed. Tables of 4 at €20 per table. A monster raffle will also be held on the night.
